#AOC is popping up all over the place now that #Trump is in office, but if more #progressives can't ditch #imperialist sellout #Democrats like her & switch over to #communism in the coming years, there won't be much chance of building #workers' movements that can actually fight #fascism in the #USA.

Bluesky Social · Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@aoc.bsky.social)Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Waleed Shahid talked in June 2024 about US politics

"The strategy of building a faction both inside and outside the party is responding to the laws of gravity of our political system, but it’s becoming a lot harder, especially electorally, and especially because of this massive amount of spending from AIPAC, from cryptocurrency, and so on. When your candidate is unknown, elections are often built around how much money you can raise to increase your name recognition and to defend yourself from attacks."

"The youth wing of the ceasefire moment is pretty opposed to, or ambivalent about, party politics and electoral politics, and is much more focused on mobilization and disruption in a way that is similar to Occupy Wall Street."

"My hypothesis is that Muslim partisan loyalty to the Democratic Party is much thinner than it is with Jewish Americans, who are part of the Democratic Party for many reasons that have nothing to do with Israel – liberal and democratic values, social justice values.
• Over the years, polls have shown that Jewish voters generally do not list Israel among their top five issues.
• Many Muslims are part of the Democratic Party for its anti-racist values, so when the Gaza war is in contradiction with those values, it’s easy for them to leave."

Daniel Levy: "As the movement for Palestinian rights has built up one kind of popular power, pro-Israel forces have doubled down on financial power. The Democratic Party could have said they will not allow independent expenditure campaigns, because they are a travesty and a disgrace to democracy, but they didn’t — and so they have enabled those pro-Israel forces."

The Intercept · At DNC, the Squad Warns Democrats to Wake Up to the Threat of AIPACBy Akela Lacy

Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱

"Despite broad popular support for legislation to curtail police violence, Congress got nothing done. Democrats, despite controlling both the House and Senate in 2021 and 2022, slow-walked the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, insisting on bipartisan support that never materialized."

"Both #BLM activists voted into Congress have been pushed out."

"Bowman and Bush have been routed out of Congress, thanks to a historic deluge of big-money spending against them. They battled challengers in the most and third-most-expensive congressional primaries in American history, respectively, and each was outspent roughly 4–1."

AP News · What Bowman's loss means for the future of 'the Squad'By FARNOUSH AMIRI

Aux USA, l'agenda sioniste marche au poil.
Jamaal Bowman, l'un des membres de #TheSquad , a été battu à l'investiture démocrate du siège qu'il détient, il ne pourra pas concourir sous cette étiquette dans cette circonscription.
Faut dire, l' #AIPAC , le super pack de donateurs qui gère un budget de plusieurs milliards de dollars à répartir dans les campagnes électorales US "Au mieux des intérêts de la communauté juive US", n'a pas fait dans la dentelle pour soutenir le concurrent de #JamaalBowman.
14 millions $ en publicités TV, radio, en ligne...
C'est juste le plus gros budget pour une primaire du congrès de toute l'histoire du pays.

L' AIPAC reproche bien sur à Bowman son soutien à la cause palestinienne et pour un cessez-le-feu et ça fait parfaitement les affaires des démocrates qui voient d'un mauvais oeil ces étoiles montantes de #TheSquad classés à gauche-gauche.

#USA / Progressives in Congress spoke up for a cease-fire in Gaza. Now they’re breaking fundraising records.

[…] Members of the “squad” — a group of liberals in the House — are being singled out by pro-Israel PACs like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, better known as AIPAC. The groups have pledged or plan to spend tens of millions of dollars to try to defeat them in Democratic primaries and the general election this year, turning the otherwise safely Democratic districts into election battlegrounds.

[…] Unlike in previous cycles, progressives are being bolstered more and more by Arab American and Muslim groups who are organizing in record numbers to ensure their voices are heard on Capitol Hill.

[…] AIPAC has defended its track record, telling the AP in a statement that “it is entirely consistent with progressive values to stand with the Jewish state,” and that the group has a history of supporting members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
